Ingredients
For the Ganache
- ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 oz. semisweet chocolate chopped
- {optional} 1 Tbsp corn syrup
For the Cake
- 1 Carvel® Ice Cream Cookie Cake
- 2 ice cream cones broken
- ½ cup brownie wafers/brittle broken
- ½ cup peanut butter wafer cookies chopped
- ½ cup peanut butter sandwich cookies
- ½ cup chocolate peanut butter cups chopped
- ¼ cup salted peanuts
- white and gold sugar pearls for decoration
Instructions
For the Ganache
- Using a medium saucepan, add whipping cream and place over medium heat. Heat, stirring occasionally, until hot.
- Remove from heat and add chopped chocolate; stir until chocolate has fully melted.
- {Optional} To create a shinier ganache, stir in corn syrup.
- Let ganache rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes, or until cool.
For the Cake
- Once cooled, spread the ganache around the center of the Carvel® Ice Cream Cookie Cake, leaving ~1” on all sides.
- Working in the center of the cake, gently press several pieces of broken ice cream cones and brownie brittle into the cake.
- Gradually work out towards the edges of the cake, adding other toppings like peanut butter wafer cookies, peanut butter sandwich cookies, peanut butter cups, salted peanuts and other candy decorations.
- Keep cake frozen until ready to serve. (Tip: Run warm water over a knife before slicing. The warm knife will help slice the ice cream cake easily.)
